To A Friend, Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AB BBCDBBBBEE BBFFGHII

WHO SENT ME FLOWERS WHEN CONFINED BYA
ILLNESSB
-
-
WHILE sickness still my step detainsB
From scenes where vernal pleasure reignsB
Where Spring has bath'd with dewy tearC
The blossoms of the op'ning yearD
To soothe confinement's languid hoursB
You send a lavish gift of flowersB
Midst whose soft odours mem'ry rovesB
O'er all the images she lovesB
Not long their sweetness shall prevailE
Their rosy tints shall soon be paleE
-
Yet fancy in their fading huesB
No emblem of our friendship viewsB
Its firm fidelity shall lastF
When all the flowers of spring are pastF
And when life's summer shall be o'erG
That summer which returns no moreH
Still friendship with perennial bloomI
Shall soften half the winter's gloomI
